Omegle: Popular video chat website banned

Omegle, the popular online chat platform that randomly paired users for anonymous conversations, has shut down after 14 years. The founder, Leif K-Brooks, cited financial and psychological stress as the reasons for the closure.

Omegle was launched in 2009 and quickly gained popularity, becoming a go-to destination for people seeking to connect with strangers online. The platform’s simple premise, allowing users to quickly move on from one conversation to another, made it an appealing way to meet new people.
